Keep calm and go to Milan

Tomorrow I'm going to Milan. I've to met with my landlord to pay for next months. Also have to check if our apartment wasn't robbed or sth. A lot of different cultures and religions live there. It's not like in Poland when old lady sees an afroamerican guy she starts whispering sth like "look at this black freak"...
Once upon a time I opened my doors and saw sth like this 30cm from my face

I back off immediately and then I thought wtf am I doing? Not everyone is a terrorist. Then I realized that I didn't move back because of their religion. They just look like a fcking ghosts.  

When you live in Poland this behaviors are ours habits, which we have learned from old generation. It's getting better and better but still we're not enough open minded to wake up drink coffee and wave to our Islamic neighbor.

What about poker. 

Had to check the result because I'll have a 4 day break. Im down 15BI. CLICK EV is EV fuck EV. but... I've a really weird impression that they're always on top range. I should have been more focused on vbetting then bluffing. These freaks often think for whole time-bank to call top two after everything is missed... 

Sometimes you have a spot when you snapcall the river with a huge smile on you face and then.... BANG :

Best turn for him for my x/c flop range. I was so happy when I saw this 68$ bet on the turn :)
I'm not one of the "hey look what a badbeat!" guy, but it has started being really funny look.

UTG FISHA MP ULTRA FISH like 60/6 with 3bet 0 after 200 hands. I would bet my card and probably my girlfriend that he had Aces ;] I would be alone right now ;]

Things I did this week:

• Feel much more steady in my decisions
• Watched 10 poker movies
• Review ~50 hands
• Ascertained that nothing can break me when I've my girlfriend on my side
• Feel really motivated. When I loose I work. When I loose more I work my ass till I start winning.
• Video Review with few top players.
• Bought 5h coaching with pleno for his blindwar strategy.

Stay tuned! 

WHY VARIANCE WHY NOW?

After having really tough period today I got fucked by variance for stk like 10BI - dont know exactly how much. It made me to do two bad calls ;(. Not sure how much I'm down but maybe I will get (-50BI) earlier than +50BI!

 Few things that I have to point out:

1) happy that my range is perceived much looser
2) Regs start doing mistakes and spazzes vs me
3) My mindset after this sick session was destroyed, but after 10min break with breathing exercises and focusing games, I was able to play another very good session.
4) Zoom addicts players to fast clicking. I've noticed that it made me to do few mistakes. Slow down Mike slow down!

I don't know when was the last time I made mistake with so much emotions inside me. Furious, resigned and angry. This is what long term swing can make with quite a good player :/
